The AM Champion’s Playbook: Building a Business Case for Additive Manufacturing in Tier 1 Automotive

This playbook offers resources for engineers to trigger a conversation about why your company should embrace additive manufacturing.

Despite a demonstrably impressive performance record, adopting and deploying an additive manufacturing strategy remains a major challenge for some Tier 1 automotive manufacturers. Many of these companies rightfully remain focused on driving continuous improvement for traditional techniques such as machining and fabrication. However, automotive manufacturing engineers see the need for a paradigm shift to incorporate additive manufacturing, but don’t know how to champion this need in the boardroom and the C-Suite.

This white paper can help build that gameplan. It combines real-life use cases from Tier 1 automotive suppliers with the perspective of a respected additive manufacturing expert to help build the business case for adopting and deploying an additive manufacturing strategy to encourage investment and reap the rewards of one of the more misunderstood technologies available in manufacturing.

  • Time-to-market, business growth and cost savings
  • Examples of profitable industrial additive manufacturing in Tier 1 automotive
  • Additive manufacturing advantages
